The findings of an urgent review into the handling of the case of a double rapist placed in a women’s prison will be published this week, Nicola Sturgeon has said.
The review was ordered by justice secretary Keith Brown in the wake of public outcry after Isla Bryson was initially housed in segregation at Cornton Vale prison.
Bryson – who will be sentenced later this month for raping two women while she was a man – was then moved to the men’s estate.
Justice secretary Keith Brown has been handed the report but there is doubt over how much will be made public.
"The findings of the report will be published,” she said.
"The Cabinet Secretary confirmed that he will update the Criminal Justice Committee this week."
Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross urged the First Minister to commit to publishing the full report, as opposed to just the “findings”.
He said: “The First Minister claims I’m clutching at straws on this – it seems she’s clutching on to this report, because she’s not willing to issue it in full today.
“The report findings, we’re told, will be published at some point, why not today? Why not publish the findings and the full report that your Justice Secretary has had for over 24 hours?”
Ross also questioned the First Minister on the case of Tiffany Scott, who was convicted of stalking a 13-year-old girl while Andrew Burns and had requested to be moved to the female prison estate.
On the day reports of Scott’s request appeared, a Scottish Government pause on the housing of trans prisoners with a history of violence against women in the female estate was put in place.
Ross said his party has spoken to a retired prison officer who said officers had been “threatened with disciplinary measures” if they refused to refer to
